Installation

It is easiest to use BLADE from the PyPI package:

pip install iohblade

Important

The Python version must be >= 3.11. An OpenAI/Gemini/Ollama/Claude/DeepSeek API key is needed for using LLM models.

You can also install the package from source using uv (0.7.9).

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/XAI-liacs/BLADE.git
   cd BLADE
   

2. Install the required dependencies via uv:

   uv sync
   

3. (Optional) Install extra dependencies for developer tools and documentation:

   uv install --group dev --group docs
